Precious Metals
Cosmo Metals is bringing a modern exploration playbook to one of Australia’s oldest mining districts—and it’s one that could deliver big, belt-scale returns across a suite of walk-up, drill-ready gold, copper, and antimony targets.
In WA’s southern Goldfields, a smart, equipment-light approach is reshaping how smaller miners get into production without blowing the capex budget.
In a pitch that blended geology with geopolitics, American West Metals managing director Dave O’Neill delivered a standout presentation at the RIU Sydney Resources Round-up 2025, offering investors a compelling vision of what could become the world’s lowest-cost copper mine.
They call it Orient—but there's nothing vague about the trajectory of this polymetallic system buried just inland from Atherton in North Queensland.
A polymetallic deposit in the heart of Queensland’s North West Minerals Province is shaping up as a future supplier of high-grade lead-silver and copper-gold concentrates, with resource confidence, metallurgy, and mine planning advancing in lockstep.
A new bulk-tonnage gold project in Western Australia is shaping up as a standout case study in low-cost development and practical innovation, as it advances toward full-scale heap leach production with big rigs, tight metallurgy, and a streamlined cost base.
In a decisive move that rewrote its approach to underground ground support, Tomingley Gold Operations has phased out twin-strand cable bolts in favour of Falcon Bolts—an innovative self-drilling, mechanically anchored system developed by Jennmar Australia.
As underground mining continues to push the limits of depth, temperature, and stress environments, traditional geotechnical design tools are being pushed just as hard.
If you thought commodities were dull, the RIU Sydney Resources Round-up 2025 would’ve shaken that notion like a jackhammer in Kalgoorlie.
For underground mining professionals, the AusIMM Underground Operators Conference in Adelaide delivered no shortage of technical insights—but it was a keynote from one of the industry’s most accomplished leaders that left the deepest impression.
